Growing up

Hey! I love finally hearing from all of you! I am glad you are all doing well. Michelle and Carol I am telling you we are so jealous right now. I got up and there was an inch of snow, YES SNOW, on my car. But times are looking up because it is supposed to be 60 tomorrow!!! YAY!!! Now we just have to wear light jackets instead of heavy ones! 80 on monday though. I am counting down the hours.
Well we are doing well. Tracy is loving his new job and feels so much better about the money he is making. He is putting in at least 10 hours of overtime each week and he really likes the hard labor. I need to frame this but he gets up at 5 every morning and is out the door by 5:45 AM! But then he usually falls asleep around 7 or 8. I laugh because we have different taste in TV so he will tell me I can't watch something but he usually falls asleep so I can change the channel hehe! Italia is doing good as well. We went to the nuerologist yesterday and he said everything looks really good. It took me an hour to get there and to wait in the room for 1 hour and a 1/2 for him to look at her for literally 10 seconds and say Great she looks good see you in a year. But that is just what you have to do, so you learn to deal. She is now sitting up really really well on her own. Probably a few minutes at a time or unless she tries to reach for something that is not quite right there, then she is the leaning tower of chubbiness. HEHE But I am really surprised she is doing so well. We have this toy that is a mat and you can hang toys over the top so they can play or sit under it, well the picture is a lion and it has these little colorful ribbon tags that stick out about 1 inch for the mane. She was sitting up under yesterday and she was grabbing at the tags and was she got so mad because she could not lift them up enough and her tummy would not let her bend over enough to get it in her mouth. I just had to laugh at her and try to cover them up with her other toys but she always seemed to find them. But the funny thing about her is that she doesn't always bring things to her mouth with her hands, she will just bend over with her mouth wide open and hope that it hits what she is going for. hehe
I am doing well. All the remolding is done in our new office and it looks really really nice. Well I just wanted to tell everyone hi. But we definately need to get together for girls day. Maybe if we just keep bugging mom we will get her going on it. I love you all and I am totally down for having some family activites with all the kids this summer. Michelle I hope you are still feeling well and that everything is going well. I can't wait to see your little belly and then your BIG belly! Carol its so nice to hear from you! It seems like your job has really lightened up and I am so excited for you! I just want you to know Italia keeps telling me she better have one from your family within the next year, Plus she wants to see little Jakey!
I Love you ALL!!!! Have a great weekend!
